Rongel Point (Nos Rongel \'nos ron-'zhel\) is an ice-free tipped cape forming the east-northeast side of the entrance to the 710 m wide nameless cove indenting for 250 m the coast behind Rongel Reef on Livingston Island, Antarctica.

The feature takes its name from the adjacent Rongel Reef.

Location

The point is located at 62°37′03″S 60°23′57″W which is on the north-western coast of Emona Anchorage in Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, 3.14 km north-northwest of Hespérides Point, 3.68 km east-northeast of Ereby Point and 2.92 km west of Aleko Point (Bulgarian mapping from a topographic survey of the region made from 8 December 1995 to 8 February 1996; the coastal configuration in the area was altered subsequently as a result of Pimpirev Glacier's retreat in the late 20th and early 21st centuries).
